Forecasting quality of entomocultures

Abstract

The purpose. Determination of methodical approaches to prediction of quality of entomophages. Methods. Experimental researches for kinds of Trichogramma T. evanescens, T. pintoi, T. dendrolimi, T. semblidis at the temperature of air in area of growth of 15°C, 20, 25, 27°C and relative humidity of air in area of growth of 80±5%. They studied probable fluctuations of parameters of entomophages. Results. It is offered to use a stability factor of homeostasis as an index of sustainability of entomophages to fluctuations of parameters of technical coenosis. According to probes the amount of females is the most stable parameter of assignment at fluctuation of temperature in area of growth of Trichogramma. Conclusions. Determination of the most stable parameters of entomophages to varying factors in conditions of technical coenosis will allow forecasting efficiency of their use in conditions of agrocenosis.
